perl 3.0 patch #37 (combined patch)
I tried to take the strlen of an integer on systems without wait4() or waitpid(). For some reason this didn't work too well... In hash.c there was a call to dbm_nextkey() which needed to be ifdefed on old dbm systems. A pattern such as /foo.*bar$/ was wrongly optimized to do tail matching on "foo". This was a longstanding bug that was unmasked by patch 36. Some systems have some SYS V IPC but not all of it. Configure now figures this out. Patch 36 put the user's PATH in front of Configures, but to make it work right I needed to change all calls of loc to ./loc in Configure. $cryptlib needed to be mentioned in the Makefile. Apollo 10.3 and Sun 3.5 have some compilation problems, so I mentioned them in README. Cray has weird restrictions on setjmp locations--you can't say if (result = setjmp(...)) Random typos and cleanup.
